Live like you're on vacation all year. Beautiful location for outdoor enthusiasts, boaters, hikers, someone seeking a starter home or downsizing. Follow deer tracks in the winter and grab the suntan lotion and stroll to the beach on summer days. Walk to the water with your kayak! A short walk to multiple hiking trails and the town-owned beach, boat launch and marina at Eichler’s Cove. Commuter-friendly house in the country with quick access to I-84, shopping, local businesses, and many restaurants. New Haven and I-95 are also easy to reach. New York is less than an hour away. This cozy house heats and cools quickly and offers privacy where it sits up a slope on a wooded lot. Newer roof, many new windows, central AC, newer hardwood floors in living and kitchen area, freshly painted rooms. Enjoy a second full bath in the finished lower level with a wet bar, hot tub, and exterior dog run and doggy door. Less than a mile away is a cul-de-sac leading to miles of blazed trails in the Paugussett Forest with lake access. The perennial landscaping and shrubs are fragrant and colorful. Perfect house in the woods. This is an agent-owned property.
